Mde them do a pressure test on the cooling system to check for leaks. They said o leaks. 5-10 minites later, i see coolant coming out from raiator.....
They also said theresbacked up pressure in the system. As did the second opinion. This led me to think thermostat.
My scan printout also reads that theres a short circuit somewhere. Terminal 30 defective? Oil temp signal, short circuit to negative, same with coolant temp senspr. MAF.
Main thing thats really botherig me, is the first shop telling me the engins shot after they put in the mew radiator and didnt bother to check anything else. Then i come back to them saying oh we test drove it around the block and it overheated again now its smoking. Engines bad.
Hm, well it wast smoking when i drove it onto the tow truck. I just dont know how to even pursue that... Tell someone they fucked up, then leave it with them again to fix? Its like telling a chef his food sucks and asking for no spit on the re-order.
